A promotion that was thought Loss

To me, this seemed like a task never to be seen. Every year since the start of my eligibility of the E-7/SFC promotion list, I have seen the passover time and time again for 6 years now. It has been very frustrating, but I know how the system is. It is broked and sometimes the good ones never succeed. It is so scrutinized and unfair at different levels. I have seen my peers all pass me with a blink of an eye. The ones lower rank than me has passed me two ranks ahead. What the hell? What is it that I have to do. I thought for sure I was done until retirement. I went to all the right schools. I done all the jobs than can be accomplished by my MOS. Deployed 3 times in the theater of combat. When is it my time. Well, after 6 long awaited years, it has finally came. I’m number 12 on the E-7/SFC list and I will be putting on the much awaited rank—Sergeant First Class-E-7, US Army….
